Hannah's Dress Complete

It has been a labour of love, all those tiny hems on the tiers and the final hand sewing of the lining to the front bodice. The dress has a pleated cumberbund and rose that fastens at the back. I will make these in sky blue satin, using fabric from the bridesmaids' dresses at Hannah's mom's wedding nine years ago. That seems to be a fitting finishing touch to the dress.
